Submission is when we give up our own thoughts and opinions and preferences, for the sake of another.
Compromise is when we give up God’s thoughts and opinions and preferences, for the sake of another.
Submission pleases God and hurts nothing but our pride. Compromise grieves God. In the short term, it may buy us peace or affection, but in the long run it ruins everyone involved. We have no right to please ourselves by demanding our own way. We have every right—and the responsibility—to please God by insisting, with strength and dignity and resolve, that He gets His way.

Found this to be a very good reminder for me this morning. There is a difference between submitting myself to others and compromising so things go easy for me...in these days especially this is a very timely reminder for me. Thought I would share it here with some few
God bless
